Mark Cuban Says His Children Struggle With the Downsides of His Wealth: 'Not That They Want To Be Poor, But It Sets An Expectation'

Cuban, a father to three children aged between 13 and 20, expressed that his wealth often leads to assumptions about his children. He aspires for his children to carve out their own paths and careers without being perpetually compared to him.
'Sometimes I think [the money is] the part they don't like,' Cuban said during the interaction. 'Not that they want to be poor, but it sets an expectation ... it's how other people see them.'
Known for his entrepreneurial endeavors and investments, Cuban has always championed his children to achieve their own successes, rather than leaning on his reputation or wealth. He motivates his children to use their own money, earned from chores or jobs, for buying non-essential items.
He also revealed that his 13-year-old son is treading his entrepreneurial path, selling candy bars to classmates and understanding business costs.Why It Matters: Cuban's comments highlight the unique challenges faced by the children of wealthy individuals. The expectations set by their parents' success can often lead to undue pressure and scrutiny.
Cuban's approach to parenting emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and individual success, values that he hopes will guide his children in their own journeys.
His son's entrepreneurial endeavors indicate that Cuban's values are already having an impact, potentially shaping the next generation of business leaders.

These last-minute Prime Day deals are still expensive, but they're up to 53% off their regular prices: Apple AirPods, Dyson Airwrap & more
We're in the final hours of Amazon Prime Day 2025, and if you're looking to save on big-ticket items, you have until 11:59 p.m. PST tonight (Friday, July 11) to take advantage of the deals. Prime Day is a phenomenal opportunity to save on brand-name tech, home and kitchen appliances, beauty products and other goods that rarely go on sale. If you're working with a small budget, there are, of course, a ton of cheap deals available (these are all under $25, for example), but Prime Day is especially handy if you want to save $100s — or even $1,000s — on higher-priced items. Below, we've listed some of the sale's best deals on high-ticket items, including Apple AirPods and Apple Watches, Bose headphones, Oral-B electric toothbrushes and more. These items are unlikely to go on sale again anytime soon, so if you're not willing to wait until Black Friday or Boxing Day, now may be the time to take the plunge — just remember, Prime Day requires an Amazon Prime membership.
